Air Canada Tango was a discount airline launched by Air Canada to offer no-frills service on some of Air Canada's routes.

Information

Tango was launched in 2001 to reduce operating costs at the struggling Air Canada. Based in Toronto, Tango flew on the major longer-distance Canadian routes between cities such as Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver. It also flew to some holiday destinations in the USA such as Fort Lauderdale and Tampa. The service offered lower fares but with few in-flight services.

In 2002, Air Canada launched another discount airline called Zip. Unlike Tango, however, Zip operated as a totally separate airline with its own staff and management.

Air Canada Tango aircraft had the same design as regular Air Canada aircraft but were painted in purple.

Tango and Zip were both dissolved in 2004.
